Hello Jeremiah, There is a variety of options to list files in a directory. This will list sort files by date.
<? $dir = opendir("."); while($file=readdir($dir)){ if(!eregi("^(.|..)$",$file)){ $time = filemtime($file); $data[$time] = "<a href=\"{server}/$file\">$file</a><br/>".date( "F d Y H:i:s",$time)." "; } } krsort($data); while(list($key,$val) = each($data)){ echo $val; } ?> This one gets a tag out of a document <? $dir = opendir("."); while($f = readdir($dir)) { if(eregi(".html$", $f)){ $file = join("", file($f)); $date=date("m/d/y ", filemtime($f)); eregi("<title>(.*)</title>", $file, $title_array); $fd="$date<a href='$sd'>$title_array[1]</a><br\>"; echo $fd; } } ?> The actual script is very small- this is the basic snippet from the manual for readdir. <?php $handle = opendir('.'); while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { echo "$file\n"; } } closedir($handle); ?> Hope this helps. I am just starting out in this- anybody know how to combine a list by date with the parser, so that a script will display titles of html files sorted by latest document first? i can't seem to get the two arrays to work together,silly as it sounds. Someone help! Thank's to Dina for sharing this with me- and she says it ways guys on the #php irc channel that helped her out... There are some sample scripts in the php manual and the comments in the online documentation. Sorry guys, i keep these snippets in one file, so i don't know who wrote what. Don't get all upset now, it's not like i am using this for my benefit ;0 Monday, December 17, 2001, 5:55:48 PM, you wrote: JJ> Anyone have a php directory listing script that creates clickable links for JJ> all items in folder list?
